AE223: Kinematics and Dynamics of Mechanisms: Course Objectives

The document provides details about the AE223 course on Kinematics and Dynamics of Mechanisms. The 4-credit course is taught by Dr. Praveen Krishna I R during slot B. The objectives are to analyze motions of connected rigid bodies like links and gears, design mechanisms for given motions, and understand dynamic forces. Students will learn graphical and analytical methods, study linkages, gears, cams, and use commercial software. Evaluation includes tutorials, quizzes, a course project on a mechanism model and analysis, and a final exam.

AE223: Kinematics and Dynamics of

Mechanisms
Credit: 4

Slot: B
Instructor : Dr. Praveen Krishna I R, AE

Course Objectives
• To develop graphical and mathematical methods to analyze motions of connected
rigid bodies (focus on closed loop), such as links, gears and cams.

• Able to design linkage, cam and gear mechanisms for a given motion or a given
input/output motion.

• Understand and calculate the dynamical forces acting on each member of the
mechanism and balance mechanism to have smooth motion.

• Usage of commercial packages with better understanding.
